Pheidolini
Emery, 1877
junior synonym of current valid taxon Attini Smith, 1858
- Pheidolini as group of Myrmicidae: Emery, 1877b: 72 [Pheidolidae].
- Pheidolini as subtribe of Myrmicini: Emery, 1924f: 357.
- Pheidolini as tribe of Myrmicinae: Forel, 1893b: 165 [Pheidolii]; Emery, 1914e: 35; Forel, 1917: 241; Arnold, 1920a: 404; Emery, 1921c: 49; Wheeler, 1922: 659; Brown, 1949a: 48; all subsequent authors.
- Pheidolini as junior synonym of Attini: Ward et al., 2015: 17.
- [Pheidolini as senior synonym of Attini: Fernández & Serna, 2019: 829.] [Note: the name Attini (1858) is easily senior to Pheidolini (1877), but Fernández & Serna, 2019: 829, suggest Pheidolini as the name for the tribe. The compiler of this catalogue maintains temporal priority, pending an appeal by the authors to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, the only body which can approve such a drastic change of usage.]
